Thwart leaks via social networks.

Dear Colleague,

What security measures do you have in place to prevent an employee from sharing:

• an internal, confidential document
• a social security number
• account numbers, or
• customer details

in an e-mail or on a social networking site?

A study from Compuware found that less than 1% of all data loss incidents reported over the past year were the result of an external attack by hackers. This means that internal users were responsible for the vast majority of all data loss incidents.

The likelihood that sensitive information will be leaked is destined to grow as more companies embrace social networks to promote marketing initiatives, provide customer service, and build relationships with their prospects and partners.

Complicating and magnifying the problem is the ease with which information can be shared via mobile devices and automatically propagated to the social networking sites.

What was meant to be a private message between one of your customer service reps and a customer on Facebook can be inadvertently broadcast to millions if the message is posted on the customer's wall.

Barring access to social networking sites is no longer an option, but that doesn't mean IT has to relinquish control.

Zecurion Zgate™ acts as the gatekeeper for your network. Zgate™:

• Monitors and controls e-mail and social networking communications at the network perimeter.
• Analyzes and blocks the transmission of content and file attachments that contain sensitive or confidential information.
• Auto-encrypts information that you deem sensitive.
• Leverages linguistic analysis to identify sensitive information in messages and attachments.
• Allows the creation of custom filtering rules so that you decide what's confidential for your company.

We have a new white paper on our website entitled:

"Don't Let Your Sensitive Information Leak onto Social Networks"

which details the inherent risks of social networking and how Zgate™ combats them.

I'd also like to invite you to try Zgate™ "on the house" for the next 30 days. More than 5,000 companies worldwide use Zecurion products to protect their internal assets and intellectual property, and we have been recognized with numerous awards for technology and security protection.
